FILE- In this file photo taken on Monday, Oct. 20, 2014, The Donbas Arena stadium, one of the venues which hosted the Euro 2012 Soccer tournament, after it was damaged by a shockwave caused by a blast during shelling in the town of Donetsk, eastern Ukraine. More than a year ago, Shakhtar Donetsk was poised to become one of European soccer’s giants. Backed by Ukraine’s richest man, industrialist Rinat Akhmetov, the club imported Brazilian stars en masse with a mission to win the Champions League, Europe’s most prestigious competition. Now, with the country wracked by conflict, Shakhtar has become a team of multimillionaire refugees.
